Tate Liverpool is set to close its doors for an unspecified period while major renovation work takes place.
The gallery, on the city's historic Royal Albert Dock, will temporarily shut while its gallery and public spaces are refurbished, but the ECHO understands this is likely to be late in 2023 and will not affect the major Turner Prize 2022 exhibition, which runs until March 19, 2023.
Gallery bosses today confirmed there would be a temporary closure for the work after they received a £10m government grant, but said they could not confirm exactly when or for how long at this stage. The gallery's acclaimed collection includes an original Pablo Picasso and a vast array of pictures, photographs and sculptures depicting important themes such as migration and colonialism.
